Would love a dyno to check how much power my cars have kept over the years. My 1991 Caprice classic with its less than eager 5.0l V8 which is also running pretty rich, I bet has lost double digits from its around 160-170hp from the factory, meanwhile I bet my other less thirsty cars have kept more of their original figures apart from my 74 Sunbeam Avenger. Can't wait for Dumpit to step up and flex its muscles.
Hmm, yes it does seem to suddenly flat-line at 7000. Revs increasing but the same power output, which is odd. Maybe air flow meter or fuel filter restricting the flow? On the other hand, soot does rather indicate over-fuelling, so engine temp sensor? Being a J reg, I'm not sure if it has an O2 sensor for closed loop control.
50 kW or 68 hp at 6000 rpm from 998 ccm - that’s my Citroën C1. I’m very happy with my sweet french girlfriend. 64 mpg or 4,4 litres on 100 km is not too bad… But this tiny Honda… hmmm… is really cool! Love it. Thanks for the video and see you soon with Dumpit… 🚗💨🇫🇷
You absolutely want to rev it even past max power and not at max power because the when you shift you will fall further from the power band if you shift it at just max power! Even on the dyno it will tell you when the engine starts to fall on it's face....
If I could somehow get my Toyota LC120 from Australia to England I would happily throw it on the dyno, just to see how much power a 320 thousand km diesel still has.
Imagine the IVeco is supposed to haul all that weight though with not much more power and also probably ahs a tow hitch. I know it has more power where it's needed for towing bot still those older vans are really slow.
Aren't all Japanese imports designed to run on 100 Ron fuel?,if its run on e10 it may have something to do with loss of hp,plus it's probably not revved out when driving regularly
Thats not too bad to lose 4 horses over 32/31 years I wonder what the Smart would do on the Rollers 61bhp book figure I would say 59 as well at a guess.
Thing is, if it was running at full health, I don't think it would have done. I think it'd make the full fat 63bhp. Smart? Not sure how the gearbox would react (or even allow it to work). I'm a hell of a long way away but you're welcome to try!
It came with the unit when he took over the business, realistically he just has it for fun he's mentioned selling it a few times but it makes for interesting videos
I have a 1000cc 4-in-line with an 11500rpm redline engine, but it lives in the frame of my Kawasaki Z1000sx motorcycle. Would the rolling road still work if I spin just one roller?
@@d33b33 The rollers should be linked together so it’d still work. I’ve dynoed motorcycles on a car dyno before. But, it tends to be harder to do since they’re not setup for it and have a lot of extra mass. They make special single roller dynos for motorcycles that work much better. They have better tie downs and less mass in the roller.
The driven rollers are linked but the idler rolls aren't, and if there's a descrepency between them, it aborts the run as it assumes you have wheelslip.
It needs to go to a specialist or motorbike garage to find the lost performance… it’s got a comparable engine to a 675 / 750 Triumph or MV Agusta triple…..
I own Giselle now and she's had some love, attention and improvements. She could probably beat the beat now 🙂
Which of HubNuts cars, it can BEAT? Well, it's fully functional, so most of them.
Ouch!
Arf Arf 😁
Exactly my sentiment.
Somewhere in Wales there will be tears ….
I really enjoy the Dyno videos
Especially cars that usually don't get shown..
I love that car! Wish i had one
Same. Very jealous!
Small, light, not a huge amount of power but a ton of fun at legal speeds. What would you call a car like that? -- a "sports car" maybe?
7:55 I have a Casio alarm clock (model TQ-140) that sounds EXACTLY like that warning chime. I bet they use the same parts.
My k13 Micra makes that sound when you drive without fully putting the handbrake down. Must be a Japanese thing.
Was going to say my alarm Clock makes the same sound 😂
That car is in amazing condition, even the wheels look brand new!
The Beat looks and sounds well ace at nearly 9000 revs! It needs to come back.
Vecky. I salute you.
The key in the ignition sound is the same as my alarm clock 😂
I love the dyno runs 😍
What about an Italian tune-up for the Beat? A look at the flow meter and fuel filter => to 63 BHP infinity and beyond ?
Is a few runs on a Dyno not equal to an 'italian tune up'? 😆

I want one so much!
Same
That rolling road on the overrun sounds like the perilous moment of an old TV sci-fi soundtrack.
love 'quirky cars'
Kei Cars FTW
Love this Rolling Road/Dyno series
I think Ians berlingo may count as a 3 cylinder car. Either that or a L4 with bank switching. 🤣
Three cylinders on a good day.
I was thinking about your dyno while in my C15 today. I doubt it would trouble most on the list.
Probably mid/high 60s
@@craigyllyn 1.9 na diesel?
@@UPnDOWN I’m only 61 but 62 in Augus…. Oh I see. 😉 it seems healthy but only done 103K 😊 it feels mid 50’s but it’s lugging the Romahome.
@@groeacht8525 it’s the 1768 n/a
Nippy car that doubles up as an alarm clock - how novel lol
If the owner ever wants to sell the Beat, surely you'd go for it right? Such a great little car!
If he wants to swap it for a broken C6 and a special 106, I'm game 😆
@@UPnDOWN 2 very different cars. Any luck selling the C6 yet?

Does have a cat, so assume lambda control

The Beat goes on. Would 63bhp actually be at the wheels?
No, flywheel. Manufacturers only quote flywheel figures. Too many variables for wheel figures.
Betty needs a run on the dyno
Needs an exhaust first I think…..

You need Ian's invacar TWC on the dino
I'm game! I don't think it would record properly, though.
I really want kei car or Toyota iQ bit scared of rust thou and mr hub nut new wheels boxy but cute
At least there's less metal to rust!

Very interesting, even if all was as expected. On another note, from what I have seen in the videos, its a 2wd dyno only, is that right?
Yes 2wd
Shame, my 4.0 Jeep needs a good dyno test after its top end rebuild.
Will Dumpit also get to have a go some time?
It's the next Dyno vid 😁
Should've finished the video first :D
you should base the leader board on bhp/litre
It's a bit of a dumb Question to ask, but why do you actually have a Dyno in yoru shot and what did that Dyno cost you to get?
It came with the unit when he took over the business, realistically he just has it for fun he's mentioned selling it a few times but it makes for interesting videos
The business bought the Dyno years ago (it bought a lot of silly things in the early years!) I was just a mechanic there at the time.
The Beat would sound great with cams, revving too 10 thousand. Bet it’s would make 63 bhp with it problem fixed
63hp is equal to my 800cc(!) motorcycle.
Patiently waiting for Edwin/TDC to get serious modding his beat
Can you put it on you scanner for the malfunction indicator light?
I've got nothing that will talk to a 1991 JDM Honda, to be fair 😆

Love how he just wants to beat HubNut 🤣😂🤣
59 from the wheels, thats 63 on the spot from the crank
It calculates to the crank.
48-49 at the wheels, according to the screen 😉
I thought you were selling the rolling road.
Was planning to, but never actually tried.
It needs to go to a specialist or motorbike garage to find the lost performance… it’s got a comparable engine to a 675 / 750 Triumph or MV Agusta triple…..
It's a 3pot, but not sure how similar the engine is...
